The Saga of Lucy McGregor by Johnnie G. Love Review.



This book was written by a local author in my home town, it was so amazing. Well written, and definatly  has emotion behind it. I felt the emotions off the main character the whole time, also had a few of my own. My mom read this and loved it, along with my grandmother. Lucy McGregor is defiantly worth the time and money, you will not regret reading it. A HIGHLY under rated book. A fast read. Just flat out amazing. 
The only complaint I have about this book is the editing, it wasn't professionally edited, and some grammatical errors. They could have been better if someone else read it before she published it, no other complaints.

Nightshade By Andrea Cremer Review


Which cover have you seen? Purple? White? Exactly why I put both pics.
So since Youtube hates me, I am posting my review of Nightshade on my blog. So here goes.
I saw the purple cover at Walmart, but didn't get it. So when I got home I researched it, and found out a little about the book and the series. 2 weeks later was Christmas, I got Barnes and Noble gift cards (OH YEAH!! SCORE) and with the Barnes and Noble gift cards from my birthday and Christmas added together I had about $100 to spend there (MIND BLOWN!). So the first week in January we hit up the bookstore. Now since people had just bought Christmas and went to use their giftcards, money, etc; It was slim pickings. Not for me! I had a huge stack in my hand and walked out with Nightshade, and Wolfsbane (the 2nd book)in my hand.
I love Nightshade, loved the whole thing and didn't want it to end. But it did. The whole love triangle between Calla, Shay, and Ren. It grabbed your emotions (even more so in Wolfsbane to) and not really tugged at your heart strings but you didn't know whether you wanted to be Team Shay or Team Ren. It tells you that on October 31 Ren and Calla are to be married to start another pack by bringing theirs together. They have known this their whole lives. As you keep reading you, along with the characters, begin to question what they have been told their whole lives about their packs, leaders, and history. I recommend this to anyone, especially if you like a troubled love story shall I say, or you just want some wolf action.

The Fallen & Leviathan by Thomas Sneigoski




I started reading this book about.... I'll say January. Not to be blunt, but it was one of the most boring books I've ever read in my life. I didn't finish it til about May, and I don't take more than 2 days to a week and a half at the most to finish a book. For me it was a very slow read, and what I mean by this is, most of the time while reading this I didn't want to put it down, but when I did, I had no urge what so ever to pick it back up. So finally I had to force myself to read it, literally. For those who enjoyed it, I'm not in anyway slamming your choice in literature, but I do have to wonder how you got into the book. Sorry if I have offended anyone with this blog I'm simply stating my opinion, and if you don't like it well get over it and don't leave a hater comment.
